    Abstract Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is an important systemic complication of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation with heterogeneous, multi-organ involvement that can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Despite significant advances in understanding the complex pathophysiology driving the disease, curative treatment options remain suboptimal. The past decade, however, has seen much growth in collaborative research efforts and standardization of criteria for clinical trials that have led to discovery of several new second-line therapies in cGVHD. The key to successful cGVHD control and management includes a comprehensive and sustained multidisciplinary effort with emphasis on ancillary and supportive care for these patients. The focus of this review is to summarize the new developments in systemic, organ-specific, and topical treatments in the management of cGVHD that emerged since the 2014 NIH consensus conference.

    Abstract Background: Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a debilitating late complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. It is often accompanied by extensive symptom burden. No validated cGVHD patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure exists to evaluate cGVHD symptom bother in children and adolescents younger than 18 years. This paper presents the study protocol for a multi-center, two-phase protocol to develop a psychometrically valid pediatric cGVHD Symptom Scale (PCSS) and a companion caregiver-proxy measure to capture the symptom burden experienced by children with cGVHD. In the first phase of the study, our aim is to evaluate the comprehension, clarity and ease of response of the PCSS through cognitive interviewing and to iteratively refine the measure to optimize content validity. In the second phase of the study, we will quantitatively examine the measurement properties of the PCSS in children and their caregiver-proxies.
    Methods and analysis: Eligible participants are children/adolescents ages 5-17 with cGVHD who are receiving systemic immunosuppressive treatment or have recently tapered to discontinuation. In the first phase, we are enrolling 60 child and caregiver-proxy dyads in three child age strata (5-7, 8-12, and 13-17 years old). Semi-scripted cognitive debriefing interviews are conducted to assess comprehension, clarity, and ease of response of each PCSS item with the child alone, and then jointly with the caregiver-proxy to explore discordant ratings. In phase two, an age-stratified cohort of 120 child-caregiver dyads will be enrolled to evaluate test-retest reliability, construct validity, and responsiveness. Anchors for known-groups validity include the PedsQL module and clinical variables, including cGVHD clinician-rated severity scores. In participants ages 13-17, we will also compare responses on the PCSS with those from the Lee cGVHD Symptom Scale, to gauge the youngest age at which adolescent respondents can comprehend this adult measure.
    Discussion: This study will yield a well-validated, counterpart measure to the Lee cGVHD Symptom Scale for use in children with cGVHD and their caregiver-proxies. This new patient-reported outcome measure can be integrated into clinical trials and care delivery for pediatric transplant survivors to improve the precision and accuracy with which their cGVHD symptom experience is captured.

    Abstract Approximately 90% of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) have somatic mutations that are known or suspected to be oncogenic in the malignant cells. The genetic risk stratification of MDSs has evolved substantially with the introduction of the clinical molecular international prognostic scoring system, which establishes next-generation sequencing at diagnosis as a standard of care. Furthermore, the International Consensus Classification of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemias has refined the MDS diagnostic criteria with the introduction of a new MDS/acute myeloid leukemia category. Monitoring measurable residual disease (MRD) has historically been used to define remission status, improve relapse prediction, and determine the efficacy of antileukemic drugs in patients with acute and chronic leukemias. However, in contrast to leukemias, assessment of MRD, including tracking of patient-specific mutations, has not yet been formally defined as a biomarker for MDS. This article summarizes current evidence and challenges and provides a conceptual framework for incorporating MRD into the treatment of MDS and future clinical trials.

    Abstract Autoimmune manifestations after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) are rare and poorly understood due to the complex interplay between the reconstituting immune system and transplant-associated factors. While autoimmune manifestations following AHSCT have been observed in children with graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), an alloimmune process, they are distinct from the latter in that they are generally restricted to the hematopoietic compartment, i.e., autoimmune hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and/or neutropenia. Autoimmune cytopenias in the setting of ASHCT represent a donor against donor immune reaction. Non-hematologic autoimmune conditions in the post-AHSCT setting have been described and do not currently fall under the GvHD diagnostic criteria, but could represent alloimmunity since they arise from the donor immune attack on the antigens that are shared by the donor and host in the thyroid, peripheral and central nervous systems, integument, liver, and kidney. As in the non-transplant setting, autoimmune conditions are primarily antibody mediated. In this article we review the incidence, risk factors, potential pathophysiology, treatment, and prognosis of hematologic and non-hematologic autoimmune manifestations in children after AHSCT.
